Hi Everyone,

Every time I run my DAW, Mixcraft 8, on my Windows 10 PC, and then open Sibelius 8 First, the audio for Mixcraft 8 shuts down. Mixcraft by itself has no problems. Does anyone know if I can resolve Sibelius 8 First taking control of my audio playback settings?



Cheers

rob

Not an issue with Sibelius but with your audio system, which is 'single client'. It can only have one app in charge.

Plenty of posts regarding this 'problem', with possible 'solutions' on the official Sibelius chat pages - go there! :)

Ah, thanks, Andy.

I think I found a way around the issue. I changed the Interface in Audio Engin Options and both programs are working together now.

Cheers

Yes, if you run them through a multi-client interface or through separate interfaces, all should be well!
